A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIGS. 1 to 3, the solar cell module 51 includes a rectangular plate-shaped main body 52 in which a cell is sealed, and a frame 53 made of an aluminum alloy or the like that holds the four circumferences of the main body 52. The main body 52 has an upper surface 52a which is a light receiving surface and a lower surface 52b which is the opposite side thereof. The frame 53 includes a fitting portion 53a having a substantially U-shaped cross section into which the end edge of the main body 52 is fitted, and a support plate portion 53b extending in parallel with the lower surface 52b of the main body 52 at intervals below the fitting portion 53a. To do. The support plate portion 53b is fixed on a support frame (not shown).
The plate-shaped or sheet-shaped heat module 54 that cools and heats the solar cell module 51 is supported by the frame 53 via the mounting bracket 1 so as to be in close contact with the lower surface 52b of the main body 52.

The mounting bracket 1 includes a holding member 2 that supports the heat module 54 that overlaps the lower surface 52b of the main body 52 of the solar cell module 51, and a locking member 3 that fixes both ends of the holding member 2 to the support plate portion 53b. ..

The pressing member 2 is made of a long metal square pipe material having bearing holes 5 at both ends of the side plate portions 4 facing each other.
The locking member 3 is made of a bent elastic metal wire, and is formed by a pair of shaft portions 6 which are abutted against each other so as to penetrate the bearing holes 5 of the holding member 2 from the outside and extending at right angles from both shaft portions 6, respectively. It is provided with a spring portion 7 that is folded back in a U shape and parallel to each other, and a hook portion 8 that is further folded back and parallel to the spring portion 7 so as to receive the support plate portion 53b of the frame body 53 and then joined to each other. .. The locking member 3 can be attached to and detached from the bearing hole 5 of the pressing member 2 by elastically deforming between the shaft portions 6 and 6 so as to be expandable. The distance between the facing portions of the spring portions 7 is reduced and deformed between the shaft portion 6 and the support plate portion 53b at the support position of the holding member 2 of the thermal module 54 which is in close contact with the lower surface 52b of the main body 52 of the solar cell module 51. It is configured in a dimensional aspect.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, when the thermal module 54 is attached to the existing solar cell module 51, the mounting bracket 1 arranges the holding member 2 in the opposite direction of the support plate portions 53b and 53b facing each other to form a solar cell. The thermal module 54 is held so as to be sandwiched between the module 51 and the main body 52, and the shaft portion 6 is inserted into the bearing hole 5 of the holding member 2 and fixed in a state where the locking member 3 is hooked on the support plate portion 53b. In the locking member 3, the spring portion 7 is between the shaft portion 6 and the support plate portion 53b in a state where the hook portion 8 is hung on the support plate portion 53b and the shaft portion 6 is inserted into the bearing hole 5 of the pressing member 2. It is reduced and deformed up and down to push up the pressing member 2 to bring the heat module 54 into close contact with the solar cell module 51, and push down the support plate portion 53b to prevent it from being separated from the support plate portion 53b.

The mounting brackets according to the second embodiment are shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. In the following, substantially the same parts as those in the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.
The holding member 10 of the mounting bracket 9 is made of a long metal mold material having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the upper plate portion 11 on which the heat module 54 is placed and the upper plate portion 11 facing each other from both sides of the upper plate portion 11 vertically downward. It is provided with a continuous side plate portion 12. The pressing member 10 is provided with a bearing hole 5 for allowing the shaft portion 6 of the locking member 3 to penetrate from the inside through the side plate portion 12 at one end, and a hook-shaped elongated hole 13 at the side plate portion 12 at the other end. The elongated hole 13 includes a lateral hole portion 13a extending in the lateral direction, and a vertical hole portion 13b continuous with the lateral hole portion 13b extending at a right angle upward on the end side of the pressing member 10, and the shaft portion 6 of the locking member 3 is provided. The locking member 3 is movably engaged within the range of the elongated hole 13 by penetrating from the inside.

With the shaft portion 6 inserted into the bearing hole 5 and the elongated hole 13 of the pressing member 10 from the inside, the locking member 3 at one end of the pressing member 10 is hooked to the support plate portion 53b in the same manner as before, and the other end. The locking member 3 of the portion is moved outward along the elongated hole 13 and hooked on the support plate portion 53b. When the hook portion 8 of the locking member 3 at the other end is hooked on the support plate portion 53b while moving along the lateral hole portion 13a, the spring portion 7 is reduced and deformed, and the shaft portion 6 reaches the vertical hole portion 13b. , It jumps up to the upper end of the vertical hole portion 13b to prevent the locking member 3 from reversing and prevent it from coming off.

The mounting bracket according to the third embodiment is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
The locking member 16 of the mounting bracket 14 has a spring portion 7 and a hook portion 8 whose spacing increases toward the open end portion, and an engaging portion extending in parallel by forming a step downward from the tip of the spring portion 7. 1 9, and a pull tab portion 20 continuous to each other and extend in parallel from the engagement portion 1 9 vertically downward. A pressing member 15 is applied to the lower surface 52b of the main body 52 of the solar cell module 51 so that the heat module 54 is in close contact with the solar cell module 51, and a finger is placed on the pulling portion 20 to hold the locking member 16 along the upper plate portion 17 of the pressing member 15. It is mounted by sliding it to the support plate portion 53b while guiding it to the side plate portion 18 . When the hook portion 8 starts to be hooked on the support plate portion 53b while the locking member 16 is moving, the spring portion 7 is reduced and deformed between the upper plate portion 17 and the support plate portion 53b of the pressing member 15, and the spring portion 7 There it exceeds the upper plate portion 17, the upper plate portion 17 is retained by preventing reversal of the locking member 16 depressed the engagement portion 1 9.
